Froillec
Drawn by Rella101
Habitat: Forest
Size: The females are 4.5 foot tall at the shoulder, and 15 foot long, though they have a two foot longer tail than the males, Males are 5 foot tall at the shoulder, and 13 foot long including tail. They are normally about 9 foot long, with the tail added on, making females have a much more lively tail.
Diet: Meats and crystal flowers normally.
Temperament: Docile unless aggravated, which can cause a rather devastating attack
Brief summary of the creature
Characteristic:
The Froillec is well known for being a rather docile species, they however have been affected differently by the crystal flower than the other two species affected. They are completely covered in crystals that grow back except for their face, and their legs. Their tail and back seem to be covered in what almost looks like a fine carved jade, where as their neck is covered in sharp spines. These spins are similar to thick porcupine quills, which if shaken will spray out. This then over the course of three days will have to regrow, leaving them with a light crystal cover on their neck, where it once was protected by thick spines.
Froillec’s are known for playing and bouncing around, playful and if getting to a place is far enough they need to run they will begrudgingly though they are much more happy jumping and loping around, playing even more than a normal fox.
These are a pack creature, however they are like hives, there are females but these are EXTREMELY rare as they are brood mothers. And taming one requires a ritual taught only to those who can handle such a willful beast. Any person that tries to tame a female is almost completely guaranteed to die by the pack falling in on them. They are not even tameable by druids, they can be communed with, however they are to strong willed to be controlled.
The likelihood of finding a female, you will need to converse with the lore holder, once one is owned, they may have up to six pups every two weeks in between, going through a four month pregnancy. These pups are naturally born without spikes, though they eventually get them in their first year of life. Normally the mother as she is nursing consumes the needed crystal flower to give their pups the needed crystals.
In tradition these are quite often owned by a dark elf clan, allowing them only to outsiders who have gained their trust, but only males are given out. If a female is born she is kept by the clan leader to protect them. One in maybe fifty years may be born, females rarely giving more than two baby girls before they die.
These creatures can live up to one hundred years of life, if treated properly, however with improper diet, they may only live up to fifty.
These often hunt in packs, to take down large creatures, often going for the harder prey as they enjoy the challenge.
I would expect their intelligence to that equal of a dolphin or orca. This is what stops them from being easily controlled, if at all by a druid.
Colors are often as followed, which are natural salt colors: Yellow, Orange, Red, Mauve, Blue, Purple, Green, and of course white. However there is a rare chance of having a black one born, these are often, the females.
A cry often heard is one similar to a cat species.
These are often up to 1000lbs due to the crystal masses on their body, but they can also be as light as 600lbs.
Origin: Who knows? However these are most often found with dark elves.
Weaknesses: Though their spines are thick, their underbelly, legs, and face are extremely weak. Strike for these spots to cause massive damage! The neck however is not a smart aim as they have so many spikes there.
LM Approval Required:
No
If playable, what are redlines?
To earn a female you must talk to a lore owner. (DarkSoundwave) or if not available (Rella101)
They do not attack unless provoked, and may only use their special attack once every three days.
They are tall and heavy, thus slower than something without as many crystals on her.
If you can’t fit, you can’t ride. Don’t be some 700 pound man trying to get on and expect the Froillec to live.

Dion’Diraar
Habitat: Forests near Haelun’or
Size: They stand between five to six feet at the shoulder, just like a normal horse. The females are much bigger, where as the males are usually around five foot, never getting larger. Lengthwise the tail can add up to four feet if not trimmed properly, however they usually range between seven to nine feet from head to rear. They can weigh between five hundred to eight hundred pounds as well.
Diet: Meats, always meats. These beasts are very picky, prefering to have rich in nutrient foods, so they often hunt for large creatures and fight over who gets the liver, kidneys and heart.
Temperament: Aggressive at first, they are a wild cat after all, they however all respect the broodmother, no Dion’Diraar will ever attack the mother of their kind. These creatures can be tamed, but they will never be house cats.
Brief summary of the creature
Characteristic: These creatures are often found with a fairly long mane, and hair that extends from the back of their legs. Their tail is long, with bone through it however the bone is covered with long tufts of hair, making it look like a horses though it has much more personality. As a Dion’Diraar gets older, blue markings appear upon their body, these are different for every one as it is their distinguishing trait. However a brood mother will have silver markings that almost seem to glow with how bright they are.
Dion’Diraar are naturally gray, black, yellow, orange, white, and even brown, however with some breeding other colors could be discovered. Hair is often blue, black, silver, gold, or light brown, rarely black. Their eye colors range from blue, green, yellow. Broodmothers however are always white with silver markings black mane and milky white eyes.
Intelligence: They are on equal terms to an orca, having long memories and even some problem solving skills, they are by no means a stupid creature.
Behavior: Typical of wild cats, unless trained otherwise they sleep during the day, and come out at night, where they will as a pack hunt for food for the broodmother and the cubs. After these are fed they take their fill, they are much like a wolf pack in this sense. In their culture the brood mother is the one thing they would protect dearly. A person can create themselves as the position of a brood mother however this is by hand raising them. They are loyal creatures and amazing mounts. When raised tame they will still occasionally attack the rider depending on how stressed they are. Yet these cases are rare and far between.
Broodmothers: Dion’Diraar females are naturally sterile, similar to a female bee, they have no power, unless they are born a broodmother. These are rare and hard to come by, maybe one in every five to six litters may be one. Thus they are rarely allowed to even hunt for themselves, often being sheltered by the pack. Males fight for the chance to breed with the broodmother and this can cause the death of quite a few Dion’Diraar. Yet the babies are born a solid color, and eventually grow to develop their markings at a full age.
These young cubs are perfect to be tamed however it is suggested to proceed with caution, capturing a Dion’Diraar child can often lead to the whole pack hunting you.
Litter sizes often are three to four cubs. Sometimes five if it includes a broodmother.
How to care for one: If one was to capture a Dion’Diraar and try to raise it, they would first have to provide it with soft food for the first few months, if it was over three months old. Any younger and they would have be bottle fed, cows milk and goats milk however is not a good substitute. One would have to make a special formula out of vital organs and milk to keep these hearty creatures going. Once they had reached soft meat stage their food would need to be cut up and basically beaten into a mush, as the mothers pre chew the food for these young cubs. This then would be fed to them. Eventually their diet would grow to that of needing normal food, and in large amounts, but a suggestion would be to grind up a liver, or heart, or vital organs and rub it upon the food to entice them as they are picky eaters. This also would allow you to hide medicine into their diet.
To care for one physically their claws must be often clipped or given wood to scratch upon. A bitless bridle may be used as well, and the saddle is suggested to be made of furs instead of hard leather as it can damage their skin. They need a large pen to run about in though it should be high and hard to climb as they often long for the wild, though they tend to return from lack of knowing how to hunt.
Age: Can range up to sixty years.
A broodmother specifically requires a pampered life style, needing to be kept happy to allow her to reproduce.
How to get one: You may easily contact an ET to collect a male or female, however the ET should contact the lore holder to make sure that this is acceptable at that time, as there are times that the Dion’Diraar are more rare. Or you can buy one from a licensed breeder. You may not without lore owner permission have a broodmother as they are rare, and I would prefer to keep the population down.
Origin: High elven forests.
Weaknesses: Their mane is often caught on objects if to long, as well as they are sensitive to fire, not to mention weaknesses a normal wild cat would have.
